Perfect for music + awareness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a pair of these for my partner for her birthday and after trying hers on for a cooking marathon, decided I needed my own. I saved up to buy my own and couldn't be happier with my purchase. They are perfect for the airport when I feel like I need to be aware of announcements but want to hear my music. We also just used them for an audio tour of the Freedom Trail with our two kids. One earbud for each of us, we could easily hear the audio, talk to each other, and be aware of our surroundings. Could not recommend more.

Bose-r for life

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my headphones and earbuds for over three years and although they are just starting to show a little bit aware, the sound quality is still just as good as the first day I got them. In terms of this speaker I have, I carry that thing with me everywhere I go to enjoy amazing quality sound in any situation.

Fit is crucial, not for every ear shape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What’s good: They stay in place during a run or in the gym better than any other earbuds I’ve used. The bad: It is one size fits most. The fit for me doesn’t work well. The speakers are too far from my ear canal, no matter how I adjust them, so I have to have the volume turn to near max to hear…especially when I’m in the gym with lots of ambient noice/music playing.

Innovative and Wonderful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these several months ago, and have used them heavily and mostly while running. The sound is stunning, especially from an open earbud design, but my favorite part is the fit: I find it difficult to find earbuds that fit well. Once the speaker is in your ear, if you slide the other 'side' into place wherever works for you, they will be secure. It's also very odd but great to hear conversations and important things going on around you even with volume turned up to a reasonable listening level. I would definitely buy these again.

Love my earbuds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love these earrings. I actually have two pair. The 2nd gen I use around the house and for gentle activities or on my boat The 1st gen I use outdoors while biking or working in the yard. The fit is great. You can wear for hours and your ears don't get sore. The noise cancelling is great, especially while walking down a busy road. The immerse audio is great for classic rock like Pink Floyd and Supertramp. I've just really like these air buds

Refreshingly different style earphones

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ​I bought this a month ago and am so happy that I did and I would highly recommend it to anyone else. What sets these apart from every other pair of earbuds I’ve owned is the unique cuff-like design. I was skeptical at first about how they would stay on, but they are incredibly comfortable for all-day wear; sometimes I actually forget I’m even wearing them. ​The audio clarity is impressive, especially considering they don't sit inside your ear canal. ​Spatial Audio: The "Immersive Audio" mode makes a massive difference, making the sound feel like it’s coming from speakers in front of you rather than inside your head. ​Awareness: The biggest win for me is being able to stay fully present. I can listen to my favorite podcasts or music while still hearing traffic, office chatter, or someone calling my name without having to toggle a "transparency mode." ​The flexible joint feels durable, and the button controls are much more reliable than the finicky touch sensors found on other models. Battery life has been solid, easily getting me through a full day of intermittent use without needing to rush back to the charging case. ​If you’re someone who hates the "plugged-up" feeling of traditional silicone tips or needs to stay aware of your surroundings for safety or social reasons, these are a game-changer. They offer a premium, stylish look and a sound profile that punches way above their open-ear weight class.

Amazing sound and safety

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased three of these for my nieces and nephew at Christmas. I got them in different colors. The kids were very impressed and had already knew that Bose was the number one brand and the best possible listening experience. They are 17, 16 and 13. They were Delighted. The youngest kept remarking she felt like she was at a concert . I bought the ultra open earbuds for safety purposes while they were out riding on their bike scooters etc. I wanted to make sure that they were able to hear signs of danger. As always. Bose is my go to brand and the only brand I would consider buying..

Overall nice but a little annoying to use

I really like these earbuds because they sound so nice and I love that they have good noise cancellation, and the battery life is genuinely insane. I've had these for 3 MONTHS and they've been sitting at 90-100% at all times. I actually never charge these earbuds for more than five minutes at a time and they've been full battery since I got them in February. This is SO AMAZING and I love this about these earbuds so much. They are just so finicky and very, VERY annoying at times. I'll be using both earbuds and one of them will randomly turn off and not reconnect until I put both back in the charging case. They'll disconnect for no reason and won't connect with my phone at all until I plug the case into a charger. Why so specific? I have no idea! But the funniest thing? This only stopped happening so frequently once I uninstalled the app! (Which is an entirely different app made only for this specific product, because the other app that supports the other headphones and earbuds apparently can't support these earbuds?) For whatever reason having the app on your phone makes the earbuds disconnect whenever they feel like it. Genuinely this is the weirdest thing I've experienced with technology. Sometimes I still have connection issues but since I've uninstalled the app it's only once in a while there's an issue compared to every single day. My biggest issue is the fact that you cannot turn of the sensors that detect when the earbuds in your ear, so if you happen to want to put one back it just turns your music off entirely and you have to manually reopen your app to turn it back on. Apparently a different model of the Quiet Comfort earbuds have a setting to toggle it off, these ones just don't. This is SO annoying that I genuinely want to return these headphones at times because of it. You can put tape over the sensors, I guess, but I shouldn't have to put ugly tape on my earbuds so they function the way I want them to. If there was a button to toggle the senors off in the app I'd be happy, but apparently that's too difficult? Please don't get me wrong I use these earbuds everyday because I genuinely do like them and I spent my money on them, but I wish I knew how frustrating they would be before I bought them because I might have looked for other options. TLDR: if you don't enjoy technology that is finicky and annoying to operate or you just get frustrated easily, DO NOT GET THESE! Don't do it, you will not enjoy them. If you can look past minor connection issues and don't mind not having access to the app (it makes the earbuds turn off and disconnect randomly) I would definitely recommend these earbuds! The battery life on mine is crazy and they sound amazing

Love these

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a person who wears hearing aides these are perfect! I can use them with my hearing aides and can still hear what’s going on around me. Battery life is fantastic. I would definitely purchase again.

Lasted about as long as my motivation on a Monday

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really hoping the Ultra Open Earbuds would be great, but unfortunately they broke within a week. The audio quality wasn’t very strong, and the materials felt a bit cheaper than expected. I appreciate the idea behind the product, but the durability just wasn’t there for me.
